Stonerider - Hologram (Self-released)
Stonerider is an interesting band from Atlanta that oozes with a 70s blues rock vibe! Their new album, "Hologram", opens up with amazingly catchy "Sleepwalking Awake" that gives you a taste of guitar riffs and smooth vocals by Matt Tanner, drums by Jason Krutzky, magic keys by Noah Pine and solid bass by John Pratt.
"Hologram"which gave its name to the album, is a dreamy song that travels the listener through a journey of rock riffs and great vocals, while the psychedelic "Dayrunner" is a great change of pace full of groovy guitars and keyboards. "War, Traffic, and Blind Faith" is a 70s throwback song with an awesome guitar interlude (a real treat in the middle of the song) that is followed by the funky and feel-good "Elevator Operator"! The instrumental "Your Chains" gives of a definitely Pink Floyd vibe (with its amazing intro, great keyboards/guitars and its length, reaching a bit over 11 minutes) that smoothly passes on to the equally groovy "Undertow" before wrapping up with the "The Great Divide" that perfectly captures the 70s nostalgic feeling.An excellent blues/retro prog rock album from a really promising up and coming band.
92/100
